5 years or experience as QA automation engineer, currently working in a small company, experience in python. Thinking about moving to SDET roles at bigger company (possibly FANG) Motive: to advance career, better company and better compensation. Current: 120 TC. Requesting suggestions in terms of TC for SDET role, challenges and growth?
SDET is just a fancier name for QA automation. If you want to advance then leetcode and go for SDE
Thanks for the info :)
You think without experience as SDE but cracking the interview would enough to get into SDE roles? Do you advice building port folio. I am looking into Django and doing some my own projects outside work. Would that be an advantage over taking Masters in CS and go apply to SDE role?

Question about women in their 30’s?
F doesn't have SDET roles afaik. G has "EngProd" which is closest to SDET roles. There is a TE role which is essentially QA automation. Apple is your best bet, that continue to hire lots in this role. My suggestion is to take a course to brush up your software eng skills and move to a SWE role. SDET-like roles are fewer, and lots of larger companies seem to be reducing hiring for that role.
Thanks for info :)
Ive bachelors in Comp Engineering. But don’t have a Masters, you think having a masters in CS makes easier to get into SWE role? Also how is the TE and EngProd role at G?
